White hair are mainly due to hereditary factors. The first thing I would like to clear is there is nothing available to make the already white hair into black except hair colours. If at all you want to opt for hair colour go for a colour which is free from ppd rather then ammonia. Ppd is the main root cause for most hair colour allergies not ammonia. There are medicines available which claim 30-40% reduction in the development of grey hair in future if you use them for a period of 6 months. But the sad part is neither you know nor I know what % of your hair are going to turn grey in next 6 months.
And make a note if you are planning to colour your hair, don't apply the colour over the roots and scalp and preferably avoid the unseen hair from colouring.

Please consult an endocrinologist for proper assessment of your other organs like heart, kidneys, lipid levels and have a proper treatment for diabetes, as diabetes is silent killer. It damages many vital organs silently and by the time you experience the symptoms of those organs there will be irreversible changes in that organ. So go to a qualified professional for proper treatment and guidance.

The human ear is divided into three parts, namely the outer, middle and inner ear. All these parts function in coherence with each other and help us in converting vibrations into sound and information. The middle ear consists of the air space between the inner ear and the outer ear and contains the bones that transmit the vibrations of the outer ear and translate them into information. This area is prone to infections, especially among children and thus may cause discomfort or pain.

Symptoms of middle ear infectionsMiddle ear infections primarily tend to manifest themselves as inflammation of the tissues and buildup of fluids. Some of the symptoms are mentioned below.

1. Infections in children - middle ear infections primarily occur in children although it can occur in adults as well. Some of the common symptoms could be:A. Ear pain either sitting or standing up and especially while lying downB. Irritability and crying, which in infants could translate to more than usual crying C. Problems with sound and difficulties in hearingD. Fluid buildup causing balance related problemsE. Discharge of fluid in certain casesF. Unable to sleep and also loss of appetiteG. In some cases children may have high fever

Causes of middle ear infections The primary cause of middle ear infection is due to the presence of bacteria or virus in the area. The eustachian tube, which runs from the middle ear to the back of the throat, is connected to nasal passages as well. Any infection that affects the throat or the nose may also affect the middle ear through this tube. Primary causes for the infections could beA. Cold or flu like symptoms, which then infect the middle ear as wellB. Otitis media, which is the buildup of fluid and inflammation either due to the presence of bacteria and viruses or even without itC. Seasonal infections, which are common during late autumn or wintersD. Air pollution is also known to be a factorE. Infection from others, especially in the case of children when they are part of a group careF. Children from 6 months to 2 years are also susceptible to middle ear infections as their immune systems are much less developed.

Treatment of middle ear infectionsUsually, middle ear infections resolve on their own within a day or so. You can try warm compress with a soft piece of cloth to ease the pain. However, if pain persists for too long then antibiotic medications may be required to fight the infection with pain relief medications to lessen the pain and discomfort.
